MONIES. The object Is to build equip and
operate under legislative authority or under
contract railway and telegraph lines in Iowa
and elsewhere, and among the specific powers
enumerated are the buying, holding and con-
veying of coal and other lands, laying out
towns etc. A reporter called on Col Meek
and inquired as TO the Significance of the al
ing Of the articles. Col. Meek replied that
unless the interstate commerce law affected
railway interests adversely. the company
would probably build railroad this year
from Boone to Clear Lake; but that the chief
work of the company this SC ason would be the
construction Of a line from Pueblo, Col, to
the Texas state line, to connect with line
building from Fort Worth north to that
point, the entire line, 475 miles in length, be-
ing part of the Fort Worth g. Denver City
system.

OVERSIGHT THE MARK.

The railroad companies propose to get
even with the government in one particular,
at least, so far as the operation of the inter-
state commerce law is concerned. The
proposition is to raise the charges for carry
ing the mails Oh the pretext that it is re-
quired by the new law. 1t is understood
that there is an understanding among the
railroad managers that as soon as the exist
ing contracts expire the rates for mail
service will be advanced to figure that
will add something like half million
dollars annually to the expenses of the
poStoffice department, and corresponding
sum to the profits OF the railroad COM
panies. This, in connection with other
matters gives confirmation to what seems
to be already well founded suspicion in
the public mind that the railroad managers,
or at least some of them, lent helping
hand in pushing the interstate commerce
bill through congress. 1t is now apparent
that the managers OF the trunk lines winked
at it, If they did not actually engineer its
passage. During the last session, while
the bill was before congress, the absence of
organized Hobbies representing the Eastern
trunk lines was commented on by the news
paper correspondents writing from the
rational capital. 1t was also detected that
he bill as originally framed placed the
Western and Southern roads under COM
plete subsection to the Eastern trunk lines.
Everything had very much the appear
lnce of an attempt OH the part of the big
ish to swallow the little ones. 1t was APP
oarently deep-laid scheme Of the trunk
ines to SO demoralize the connecting lines
hat they would be enabled to accomplish
" consolidation what they had been at
eInpting to bring about by pools for the
asst ten years. This scheme was de-
rcted by the conference committee,

Shotby Supe.

BOSTON, April 1l.-James NJ, Ward. the
Irish comedian, who began an engagement to.
night at the Bijou theater in his play 1.-THE
Red Fox was painfully wounded during the
third act by supernumerary named Cohee.
In this act Ward as Rody, the hero, in at.
tempting to escape from prison is
shot. Cohee, in discharging the gun,
aimed too low and the charge of
wadding penetrated Wards breast, striking
and bending the breast bone. The curtain
was lowered and the injured IMAM removed
behind the scenes, where physicians were
summoned. The audience was appraised of
the accident and dismissed. The physicians
succeeded in removing the paper waddin2
from the wound, but say that Ward cannot
return to the stage for some weeks.

ARE THEY ST. PAULI
A Young Couple who Are Livins
high on ssBorrOwed'' Money.
Special to the Globe.

WINNIPEG, Man., April 11.-Last Wednes-
day there arrived in this city on the train
from the East young man about 10 years of
age and girl of IA or Is. They put up at
the Queens hotel, registering as "F. Dillo II
and sister," stating that they hailed
from Toronto. The young man had
a pretty fast time of it while here. On Sat-
urday the couple went south to st. Paul.
Yesterday two men arrived in the city, one a
brother of the young lady's and the other IL
detective. The couple belong to two of the
most prominent families of Mon
treal and had ran away, not
being allowed to carry out the courtship at
home. 1t is said that the young lady, being
of an enterprising turn of mind, pocketed
$4,000 in cash and 81. 600 in jewelry aud dia-
monds from her home before departing on
her travels. The detective and brother left
for the south this morning.

and two amendments were added to
the bill with a view of ayerting just
such condition of affairs as the trunk
line managers were scheming for. The
first amendment was that the prohibition
of lower rates for through traffic than for
local should only apply when the circum-
stances and conditions were similar, and
the second amendment was that the COM
mission might suspend the fourth section
when it deemed it wise to do so. The COM
mission realized the Importance of these
provisions in protecting the connecting
lines from the mastery of the trunk lines for
the very first thing the commission did. after
its organization, was to issue an order suS-
pending the operations of the fourth section
for ninety days so far as it is applied to
certain Southern lines. This action of the
commission has angered the trunk line mar
ayers, who had previously resolved among
themselves that the amendments were
meaningless and should not be recognized by
the commission. The trunk line man.
ayers, In retaliation for this act Of the
commission, now announce their purpose
to boycott the connecting lines. They will
not interchange traffic with them. and thus
propose to virtually shut them ont from the
Eastern markets. If the Southern and
Western roads were disposed to organize
for the purpose they might make this boy
colt double edged instrument by refusing
to receive goods shipped from the East to
Southern and Western markets. But for
tunately there is a better rem edy for them
1t is found i'm the law itself, which has
wisely enough provided for just such con-
tingency. 1t is fOnnd in section 3, OF the
interstate commerce law. and cannot be
suspended. 1t reads as follows:
Every common carrier subject to the pro-
visions OF this act shall, according to their
respective powers, afford all reasonable,
proper and equal facilities for the interchange
Of traffic between their respective lines, and
for the receiving, forwarding and delivering
of passengers and property to and from their
several lines and those connecting Herewith.
and shall not discriminate in their rates and
charges between such connecting lines.
There is protection enough for the con-
Meeting lines, and there need be no fears but
that the interstate commission will see to
its enforcement when the necessity arises
for it. There are pretty clear indications
that the trunk line managers have been
checkmated at their own game, or. accord
ing to the favorite American vernacular,
they now discover that they bit off more
than they can chew.

A PRoTRaCTED CAUCUS.
The minneapolis Democratic Alder.
men Make Nominations for City


1t was 80 a. IN. when the Democratic cau-
Gus broke up, and the weary aldermen ad-
journed to run the gauntlet of anxious candi-
dates and their friends From the
best information obtainable, il is
probable that Titus Mareck received
the nomination for president of the
council, w. Fl. Mills for vice president. G. A
Commar for city clerk, Andrew Rinker for
city engineer; F. L. Stetson for chief of the
fire department, W. D.. Curtiss for health
officer, DR.. S. P. Kilvington for meat in
spector; Charles Taylor for city assessor, S.
W. Case for sealer of. weights and meas
ures. Joseph Jepson for city physician,
DR.. Dunn for building inspector,
George Summers for superintendent of the
workhouse. The fight over the city attorney
ship was very spirited, and the result seems
to be in doubt, but it is conjectured that Sea-
grave Smith came in as dark horse and car
ried off the prize. Nominations for street
commissioners were made at the close. A res
olution binding the aldermen to secrecy was
passed, and they regarded their pledges to q
man.

PRESIDENT SMITHS DOCTRINE

PRESIDENT SMITHS DOCTRINE.
If the other people protesting the Nor
mon faith would take the same view OF their
religion, its privileges and requirements. as
President JOSEPH SMITH. whose denuncia-
ton of polygamy has created such sensa-
ton, there would be little objection to the
Latter Day Saints, as they are pleased to
call themselves. The constitution of the
United States grants religious liberty to all
citizens. and. so far as the religion itself is
concerned, the Mormons have as much right
to worship in their own peculiar way as any
other sect. The Mormons, however, have
always maintained that polygamy is part
of their religious belief, and the authOritive
declaration to the contrary from such an
eminent source can hardly fail to occasion
CONSERVATION among the non-Gentile resi-
dents of Utah. Eliminating the perniciouS
practice of polygamy, the Mormons can
justly claim immunity from interference,
but so long as they continue it, forbidden
as it is by the laws of the country, they cam
not claim protection under the constitution,
and should receive the severest punishment
that can be melted out to them. Mr..
SMITHS view of the subject is one that
every Mormon, not blinded by his own
sensual nature, can readily accept. 1t is
the only one that will permit Mormonism to
be looked upon with tolerance in this coun-
try, and if the advocates of that faith refuse
to accept it, they should be forced to go be-
yOnd the borders of the United States if
they desire to lead their polygamous lives
in peace. - .. ,-,7a

agents of the trunk lines held a meeting at
which Commissioner Pierson presided. and at
which e. K. LORD. general passenger agent of
the Baltimore g. Ohio road, was present with
all the other general agents. The meeting
lasted until late in the afternoon and resulted
in the Baltimore Ohio agreeing to act with

promised to order the tickets of the obstinate
